right click on the Start menu button. The pop up window will allow the user to Search

Finally, before installing the new software, be sure to shut down the PC and physically
remove any Bus based controllers from their respective slots. Once the new software is
loaded, then the controllers can be put back into the PC.
Installing the New Communication Software
The communication software can be downloaded from the Galil website at
www.galilmc.com/support/download.html.
The two free software packages are
DMCWIN and DMCTERM. Both packages provide a terminal that allows programs to
be downloaded and commands to be sent directly to Galil controllers. Also available, at
an added cost to the user, is the Windows Servo Design Kit (WSDK32). This program
has the additional functionality of automatic tuning tests, a setup utility, and multiple
storage scopes. WSDK can be ordered online via the website address above.
